Didn’t know that didn’t count lol

some color rush games had all whites

also I don’t recall it being labeled an official color rush game, at that point teams were just choosing to wear color rush at times, prior to that they were officially sanctioned

idk but i remember that when they started to do colour rush games, initially some colour blind people found it hard to differentiate the teams - i wonder if that's why there's a lot of white and black unis as road unis so that teams are more easily differentiated on the broadcast (complete conjecture here but maybe even a holdover from black and white broadcasting)

The jets and bills game the first season of color rush really messed up the color blind community lol
 
Prayers go out to this guy for his battle with bipolar disorder. I am all too familiar with it, as I too have the disorder and it can be a daily battle just waking up and getting out of bed. Mine is rapid cycling meaning one minute I could be on top of the world and the next I could be feeling like utter trash. If anyone knows anyone else with bipolar, then you'll know how it is. God bless him for standing up for himself in getting help and advocating for not only himself but for others.

My moms suffered from it my whole life, she’s just started to find peace in the last 2 years or so and still struggles at times. I’m going through the process right now of finding out what the hell is wrong with me, because I’ve had issues for a long time that I’ve tried to ignore or manage on my own, but I’ve bottomed out lately and decided it’s time to get help.

I support anyone with a platform spreading awareness on this subject.

has our game plan ever been to come out with quick passes? I dnt think ive ever seen that in our game yet..

I dont think Lamar really has the consistent accuracy short to do that yet. it might partially be a mental thing of just wanting the big play, and I think instructing him to take short passes only would mess up his vision and reads.

with this yes I think he will improve on taking the check downs and that is about as good as we will get this year

It is hard to live with any mental illness. It's hard to accept help but I'm glad you've chosen to. We're rooting for you to feel peace and comfort.

we did it loads in the 2nd half against the colts in 2020
and i cant remember which game it was this year (might have been the broncos) where we werent necessarily doing quick passes but we were dinking and dunking our way through their defence with short passes all game and all day

i loved what we did to come back vs the chiefs and vikings, where we hit quick passes all across the field, and used it to open up the run game, it feels like our most effective gameplan. i know that harbaugh has always been a coach who wants to establish the run and set up the defense for a big payoff, but our OL just isnt built for it and lamar just doesnt do it effectively unless he has a clean pocket most of the time, like even if hes throwing from a clean pocket on a particular, if his clock is sped up because hes been pressured all night then he just seems to not deliver on the big "payoff" throws. our OL can hold up on 3 step drops and quick strikes, and if were able to keep defenses in their nickel or dime sets we can run a power concept at it for chunks, and once were able to do that it snowballs, it seems like every time we try to implement that gameplan, it works.

I'm sorry to hear this. I have a friend who has bipolar. She's mainly controlled via meds, but this is also the friend that had covid and lost a parent due to covid. My friend was on a vent for 8 weeks. I never thought she was going to make it, yet she did. However now she is in assisted living and has been there for over a year. She has lost use of her right arm due to covid and can barely talk as she speaks in a whisper. So having bipolar and now this is a tough life, but she has a great outlook on life and maintains that, even being the youngest in the assisted living facility.
